WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: WHERE’S YOUR MIND?

From the title, don’t think I am saying you have lost your mind. But I want to discuss where our mindset is when it comes to the work of God. God laid it on Nehemiah’s heart to rebuild the city. They rebuilt the city because the people had a mind to work. Do you have a mind to work for God? Are you ready to rebuild the city?

Neh 4:6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.

We will never accomplish anything unless we come together and work together. We have a responsibility to the lost to be the body of Christ in the earth. We have to show them how to build a life on the foundations of the truth in God’s word.  

Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

If God is not working with us, it is useless to work. We often try to build things that we believe is God’s will. Congregations of people will come together for services. But if they are not of one mind, soon there are divisions among them.  He will confirm his truth.

The enemy will sometimes send people in to cause confusion and division. His Body should be in one mind and one accord. Jesus even prayed for his disciples that they be one. The enemy comes to subtract and divide, Jesus comes to add and multiply.

John 17:21-23 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

We can build large fancy buildings. We can have thousands in attendance every week, but if we are not in one accord working with God, then church is nothing more than a social club. A big waste of our time.

Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

I ask where is your mind? Do you have a mind to work? Are you ready to build a place for people to find God without judgment? I have been around judgmental people my whole life, it is impossible to go to church without there being at least one or two in the crowd. Even the devil goes to church. He sends witches and those who have a mind to cause trouble, because he cannot stand to see us building something for God.

Look at Nehemiah, his enemies said, let us sneak in and they will not know it until it’s too late. We have to be wise and following the leading of God. For this reason, we need to know by the leading of God’s Spirit who is for us. If we know them that labor among us the enemy cannot send in anyone to ambush us.  Know them that labor among you. We do not want to be guilty of being caught unaware of the enemy.

We have to be aware of our enemy’s tactics. We cannot focus on him to the point of being paralyzed by fear. But we have to be wise to his devices. He will not overtake us, he will not destroy us. He will never defeat us if our mind is where it needs to be. The battlefield is our mind. The enemy will come against our thoughts. We have to know where our mind is and where it should be.

I want to leave you with two verses that remind us where we need to concentrate our thoughts and mind.

Phil 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Ask yourself, where is your mind? Is it on the attacks of the enemy or is it on the things that build up the kingdom of God in the earth?

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
